It’s a bat mobile! No, not the kind that Batman
cruises around in. It’s a mobile – with bats. This easy-to-make Halloween craft
for kids is super-simple and even teaches a lesson or two about science.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
·
Black card stock paper
·
A light-colored crayon
·
Scissors
·
A hole punch
·
Yarn
·
Two straws
Here’s What to Do:
1. Fold
the card stock in half, book style.
2. Draw
the bat. Have your child start at the center and draw half of a bat.
3. Cut
the bat out – keeping the paper folded.
4. Unfold
the paper. Like magic, your child has a symmetrical bat.
5. Punch
a hole at the top of each bat.
6. Cut
pieces of yarn in different lengths.
7. Tie
one piece of yarn through the hole in each bat.
8. Cross
two plastic straws, making a plus sign. Weave a piece of yarn around the center
(where the two straws cross) and tie the ends.
9. Add
another piece of yarn to the center of the straw plus sign. Leave the other end
free to tie up the mobile.
10. Attach the bats to the ends of the
straws.
11. Tie the loose end of the center string
to a tree limb outside or a post indoors.

Lessons for Kids
Play with weight and move the bats around. Untie a
few of the paper flying creatures and move them all to one side. Investigate
what happens when the balance changes on the mobile.
